The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Since there are 16 neutrons, there are 14 protons. This also corresponds to the atomic number, so this atom's atomic number is 14 which is also Silicon
The answer is A. The element is sodium (Na) and is highly reactive

Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell
can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 +
6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on.
The general formula is that the nth shell can in principle hold up to
2(n2) electrons.
Mass/ energy can not be created or destroyed
